Five First Lines Master Post
Okay, all the entries for Five First Lines are here under the cut, along with another rundown of how it works.
Please, no more sentence submissions, and thanks to everyone who did submit!
Rundown
Whatcha do: Go through this list and pick out five sentences (that aren't your own) that inspire you to write a story. They can be any five. If you like all five that one person submitted, then by all means choose all five of theirs. And there's no first-dibs - more than one author can pick the same sentence. It'll actually be fun to see the different directions they go in! Stories can be any length you like.
Please comment here only with links to your finished works, whether at your journal or on Teaspoon. Please don't post the full stories here, or post which sentences you're picking. Just comment with links to your stories, and any questions if you have them.
There's no time limit. If it'll take you a while, just bookmark this entry and come back to it later. This isn't a contest, it's just something fun to spark your creativity.
When you post a story, please make sure to credit the writer of the first line you picked.

2. "Will you please just SHUT UP?" yelled Martha.

From purplerhino:
1.) This was a prime example why time travel with young children was generally considered a Very Bad Idea.
2.) It seemed like a very nice planet, especially when the fox dressed like a Cavalier started talking to them.
3.) It would have been easier to eat the jello-like substance if it didn't try to squirm its way across the plate.
4.)That scarf had been useful for many things over time, however; this was the first time it was used to wrap up a squirming puppy to prevent its escape.

From catsfiction:

3. "What are you doing here?" gasped the Doctor, as he emerged from the shower. "I thought I left you in the other universe."

2. It was a fleeting hope, but she clung to it like it was the last breath she would ever take.

4. They walked together once more, one final time, along the edge of the world, bathed in a golden glow.
5. The Doctor suddenly remembered why he hadn't visited 1950s Earth too recently: last time he'd done exactly the same thing: run into the wrong police box. But this time he wasn't alone and that made it all the more embarrassing.

From principia_coh:
1. There was no way that smile could mean anything good.
2. "If he starts twirling and splashing about like Gene Kelly, I am going to kill him," Martha growled to herself.

4. "Stand back! I happen to be particularly well versed in the art of Venusian Akido, and, trust me, if there's anything you don't wanna mess with, it's the art of Venusian Akido."
5. The Doctor thrust out his arm, sonic screwdriver extended, and proceeded to sonic the alien... but nothing happened. "Ah," he said eventually. "Right. That would be the sonic not working, then."

2. Ten seconds ticked by, not stirred even by the wind, and then faded into eternity.

4. Rose shoved the crying infant into the Doctor's arms and muttered, "he's your problem, too, you know."
5. "Miss Tyler," the secretary's voice rang through Rose's headset, "there is a Doctor Martha Jones here to speak with you."
